Rotary Switches

A rotary switch is a switch operated by the rotation of a handle, wheel, lever, or knob. It has two main parts: the stationary contacts and the rotating contacts. The stationary contacts are connected to the circuit and the rotating contacts are connected to the control device. The rotary switch is used in a wide variety of applications and can be found in devices such as radios, washing machines, and power tools.

24878-05N Application Field and Working Principle

The 24878-05N rotary switch is an 8-pole, 15-position rotary switch that can be used in a variety of applications. It is mainly used for switching between various power and control signals. The 24878-05N rotary switch can handle voltages up to 250 volts AC and currents up to 6 amps AC. It is made of a base, a knob, and an insulated housing. The base is made of a Polyamide 6.6 base, which is flame-retardant and is designed to provide the correct fit in the application. The knob is ergonomically designed for easy usage and is available in two different colors, black and white. The insulated housing is made of a high-quality, flame-retardant plastic.

The working principle of the 24878-05N rotary switch is as follows. When the knob is rotated to a specific position, the rotating contacts are engaged with the stationary contacts, thus completing the circuit. The mechanism of the switch is designed such that the contacts remain in the same position when the switch is powered off, which ensures that the circuit remains intact even if no power is applied to the switch. The positions of the switch are marked on the top of the knob. This makes it easy to identify each position.

The 24878-05N rotary switch is suitable for a wide range of applications. It can be used in electrical control panels, switching between power and control signals, and even in portable devices such as phones and tablets. It can also be used in audio/video equipment as a changeover switch. This makes it a perfect choice for any application that requires a reliable and robust switch.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 24878-05N rotary switch is a reliable and robust switch that can be used in a variety of applications. It is made of high-quality materials and is designed for easy usage. Its ability to retain its position when powered off ensures that the circuit remains intact even if there is a power failure. This makes it a perfect choice for any application that requires a reliable and robust switch.
